Sorry bout that...
350 and....

270/268 dur
420/442 lift

300-350

Also compression & exhaust makes a big difference. Could easily be looking at 200hp or 350hp with the components that you listed. Too many variables IMHO & the two parts that I mentioned are gonna be a huge influence on power production.

I figured that i would end up with 9.5:1 comp and i have no idea what kind of headders i am getting. Whats the best fit for our cars?

thanks

LONG TUBES FTW

I run a Big Block Olds so its completely different but for whats its worth I played hell when i stepped up to 1 7/8 inch headers. The Pass side has once tube that goes over the frame and I also had to unbolt the motor mount and jack the motor up about 2 inches. IMO stay at 1 3/4 or smaller and judging by ur combo you shouldnt need anything larger.

where should i pick up a pair of 1 1/2 or 1 3/4 ones ?

pick them up through summit or jegs, you might be able to get a better deal off craigslist, but people are flakes and lie and sell you junk a lot of the time, not worth the savings in money in my opinion.

What brand will work with the least amount of "massaging"???



thanks

I use Dynomax,they fit very well but the number 6 header tube is close to the plug.Test fit and dent it a bit to get a little more clearance.

Blackjacks on first BU ............eh ok

this one guy swears they were hookers but no plate on the headers I wanna say more to Hedmans that I have and so far no clearance issue but will let you know when I get the engine harness here

i have headman long tubes and its a pain to get 2 or 3 plugs out. puts me in a bad mood everytime i have to get them out
